She's lookin' pretty pudgy. Introduced to the male December 16th, so the "official" due date is around St. Patrick's Day . . . but I wouldn't be surprised to see her pop sooner.
Maybe she'll just have a huge brood . . . *fingers crossed*
Sorry 'bout the photo quality, but I didn't want to disturb her by taking the lid off (would have liked to get a side-shot and see if the embryos are visble yet).

Dont be surprised if it takes longer. I have noticed that the first brood a scorp has will often be with a longer gestation than "normal". For instance, I have had Tityus and Centruroides spp take as long as 6 months before dropping from the time of mating yet after the first brood they will often take alot less time (e.g. 3-4 months). Not sure why that is but I have noticed this before

Good thing I'm patient.
Not really, but I can wait. That's kind of a weird phenomenom.
